INDIAN TRADERsuIPs.
Tho Horrible Condition in which the
Committee Finds Affairs,

Committee Finds Affairs.
Senator Platt, OF the committee to inves-
tigate the Indian tradershlps, has returned
and says that the proceedings Of the COM
mittee proved Of more absorbing Interest
than was anticipated. Inasmuch as the
evidence is not all In as yet he will speak
only In general terms. The traders say
they were removed for the sole reason that
they were Republicans aud that personal
and political friends OF those in authority
given their places. Not only did they lose
their places but their fortunes were swept
away by the change. The average invest
ment In the enterprises was 100000, and
many OF the old traders, now old men, are
driven into bankruptcy.
The Indians receive aunultes and lease
monty, and are periodically 10 funds for a
few days ut time. At all other seasons
they are the debtors Of the traders, who
usually have one-half or three-quarters Of
their Investments outstanding. The Indians
pay their debts promptly enough to trad
continue to trust them, but one whose
doors are closed, or who, as In some cases,
ia peremptorily ordered away from the ter
ritory, has no chance Of recovering more
than fraction of his dues.
The fact that new traders come armed
with exclusive franchises places the old
traders at a disadvantage as regards prices
In many instances appointments were made
on the sole ground OF "inauence," and the
new men openly proposed copartnership
with their predecessors. Senator Platt
thinks the committee will be unit that the
arbitrary power Of bankrupting worthy men
should call for reform.
The committee visited the Indian terri
tory to investigate an agency and Indian
store. They found on the Kaw reserva-
ton tract OF 10000 acres, tribal rem
nant OF just 1917 persons. In Usage county
600 acres are reserved for 1900 per-
sons, and many OF them are worthless and
uncultured, with all the savage barbarity Of
their ancestors. II their per capita allot-
ment were made, each man, woman, aud
child would receive about $4,000. The
full-blooded, uncultured, and savage In
dian cultivates the land, but not with his
own hands. On the contrary, they en-
No luxury is to delicate for
those fastidious yet savage autocrats, while
the poor white laborer is forced to live on
the coarsest and cheapest food. When the
committee reached the reservation q dance
was In progr, SIS and had been for week.
The men were almost naked, while their
polygamous wives were preparing gor-
geous feast. Two Of the most savage Of
the crowd Of dancers were graduates of the
Carlisle Indian school, and had relapsed
into savagery. The opinion prevails that
to surround the Indian with the accessories
Of civilization is not calculated to make
him good citizen.
